Thank you for spotlighting this runoff. Another good thing to know about John: he comes from a long line of anti-racism activists. In 1964, Lt. Col Lemuel Penn was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan 20 miles outside Athens, Georgia. A local (Danielsville) jury of 12 white men, most with KKK ties, found them innocent. Under the brand new 1964 Civil Rights Act, the federal government brought them back to trial on a charge of violating Col. Penn's civil rights. Only this time, the trial was in Athens, and John Barrow's father was the judge. He put them in prison for as long as he could---ten years. This being Georgia, they were let out after five for "good behavior" but giving the KKK any jail time in Georgia was a turning point, and John's Daddy was the one who turned it.

Ras el hanout is really, really tasty spice to put on pretty much any meat. Bet it would go well on long pork.

"He didn't vote my way. He was constantly on the other side of the aisle," he said. "He said he is centrist, but he's liberal."

Everyone seems liberal to a Nazi.

He's seen those movies where they frag the Lieutenant, and knows he would have been a target.

Lulz, you're probably right. I'm waiting for the CIA to take him out.

Funny!

And yet...

Democrat John Barrow made it to the runoff. Democrat Stacey Abrams did not. Apparently she DID need some centrists!

Stacey Abrams did not lose, Brian Kemp cheated.

I don't have anything extra to say here. I just wanted to repeat this part.
